“Awesome and Totally amazing!”

Left on 02/03/2014 for a stay in January 2014 | Bryan, Alicia, & AutumnReviewed Feb 3, 2014Stayed Jan 2014

The Condo:
This was our first visit to CR and at the risk of sounding very repetitive, I am going to say it anyway. This Condo is absolutely amazing! We were actually taken back by the views, the weather, and beauty of it all. The condo itself is very well maintained. The beds are very nice and excellent to sleep on. there is usually a very nice breeze that can get strong at times so you need to be careful of the bedroom doors. The condo is relatively close to the beach at say 200 to 250 yards. The local terrain is very hilly and as such it us a little bit of a walk uphill when you come back from the beach. Our Garmin and Trackit Maps didn't show Oceanica on any of the categories so you may have to use the resort right across the street to find it as addresses are not used in CR at all. We give this one 5 star rating!!! Well worth the time to visit.
Daphne:
Daphne was absolutely the best host you could ever ask for! She provided all the information I asked for and needed. She even graciously helped with the car rental (Economy). Daphne is indeed kind and tremendously gracious.
Restaurants:
We chose to eat at the local restaurants (locals call them Sodas). There are a good number of these within say 5 miles and all are wonderful. Local CR cuisine is amazing and filling. Even though we do not speak Spanish it wasn't that hard to figure out and order food. Ticas and Ticos are wonderful people.
We would definitely go back in a heart beat!

“Couldn't Have Been Better”

Left on 10/24/2013 for a stay in October 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Oct 24, 2013Stayed Oct 2013

My wife and I have been in Costa Rica for more than eight months and packed many great experiences into that time. A major omission, though, was spending any real time on widely praised northern Pacific beaches such as Flamingo, Conchal and Tamarindo. After three days last week in Daphne Nicholson's gorgeous ocean view condo in Flamingo, we're kicking ourselves for not coming here on our first day off the plane.
If the praise you've read from other reviewers strikes you as overblown, let me assure it's not. The third-floor balcony view of Playa Flamingo really is stunning. The condo is every bit as clean, well furnished and immaculately maintained as described. Daphne is indeed the perfect owner/renter's contact - affable, responsive, informative and helpful. She did everything possible to make our entire experience easy and stress-free, from booking to check-in to quickly answering questions we had about the unit.
What we most appreciated was her obvious concern for making our stay as great as it was. After all, a location as beautiful as Playa Flamingo is pretty hard to screw up. Even a mediocre, indifferently maintained unit rented by a hands-off owner would still have that grand view and those cool, fragrant ocean beaches. The fact that everything about our stay - from the unit itself, to Daphne's professionalism to the great value for our money - was so much more than we expected made this one of our best beach getaways ever.

“Wonderful”

Left on 08/08/2013 for a stay in June 2013 | JacqueReviewed Aug 8, 2013Stayed Jun 2013

Daphne was very helpful. She quickly responed to any questions we had and gave us some recommendations on things to do and places to eat. We would highly recommend her to family and friends. The condo was beautiful and clean. We cooked a lot of meals in the condo and it had everything that we needed. The condo was close to a great beach. We loved this area because it wasn't too crowded. Overall it was a great experience and we would recommend staying here to others.

“Incredible!”

Left on 06/06/2013 for a stay in May 2013 | Patti & YvesReviewed Jun 6, 2013Stayed May 2013

We had a wonderful stay at Daphne's place!!! She was very accommodating and was exact about everything as to what to expect. Much appreciated. This condo is like a home away from home. I could easily live there. The view is amazing, the surroundings are friendly and accommodating as well. Everything is very accessible i.e. groceries, pharmacy, hairdresser etc. I watched two weddings on the beach from the balcony. So nice. Very easy to adapt to this lifestyle for sure. We had everything we needed at the condo. My husband and I are were very impressed and happy that it was so perfect for us. We hope to be back again some day!!! Pura Vida!

“a little piece of paradise”

Left on 04/11/2013 for a stay in March 2013 | Judy& JorgeReviewed Apr 11, 2013Stayed Mar 2013

absolutely fantastic - condo was equipped with all the amenities and necessities upon arrival
the view off the deck looking at the ocean was incredible especially when the sun set
the location was great for access to groceries, restaurants and the marina should you wish to do the fishing trip which we did and it was a great day - one tuna and a dozen red snapper
we would certainly recommend this place and would go back ourselves
also the security was great - friendly people very helpful

“great place to stay in one of the most beautiful beaches in CR”

Left on 01/17/2013 for a stay in December 2013 | M. GaritaReviewed Jan 17, 2013Stayed Dec 2013

It's a great family oriented condo with easy access. The view is amazing and the floor distribution is adequate.
My family and I had a great time and I recommend it to all families.
You can find anything in the vicinity from good food to a pharmacy.
In general it's a fun and safe place to visit.
Enjoy...

“Incredible location, beautiful view, comfortable, clean, well su”

Left on 01/02/2012 for a stay in November 2011 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Jan 2, 2012Stayed Nov 2011

This condo has everything you need for a wonderful holiday. The beds are so comfortable; the condo is beautifully decorated; the kitchen is well equipped. Located on a sandy beach which is perfect for a morning walk followed by a relaxing swim. The view is spectacular. Great restaurants very near by. The service was the best. Daphne Nicholson went out of her way to ensure that we had all the information we needed.

“Great Time in Playa Flamingo”

Left on 01/02/2012 for a stay in June 2011 | ChrisReviewed Jan 2, 2012Stayed Jun 2011

Our family of 5 spent 4 wonderful, fun, awesome, incredible days at Daphne's condo. It was everything that was advertised. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. She had Pam (lives near by) ready to help us when we arrived and she was a great help. We also were able to spend some time at the Playa Conchal? resort thanks to them as well. We highly recommend staying here and enjoying the wonderful Flamingo beaches and all around fun. Stay in Flamingo vs. Tamarindo, you won't be disappointed.

“Beautiful accommodations in Flamingo Beach”

Left on 08/26/2011 for a stay in July 2011 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Aug 26, 2011Stayed Jul 2011

Daphne's condominium offers exceptionally well appointed accommodations and a stunning sunset view in beautiful Flamingo Beach, Costa Rica. The beach is a short walk away, or the pool, as are great restaurants, bars, and the staff are friendly and helpful. My wife, daughter and me had a splendid time and I highly recommend Daphne's place without hesitation.
